The Last Shipment of Mister Pender

In the autumn of 1998, Luna's uncle ran a small general store in the dying town of Pender's Reach, Oregon. The store received its stock from a delivery truck that came every Thursday at dusk, rain or shine. But one Thursday in late October, the truck arrived early, and the driver's face was wrong. Luna was thirteen that year, and she remembers the way the canned goods on the shelves seemed to breathe. She remembers the sound the brass bell above the door made when the wind caught it—a sound that was not a bell at all. This is the story of what came off that truck, and what her uncle had to do to keep the store open for another week. It is a story about isolation, about the price of convenience, and about the shape of a man's mouth when he has forgotten how to speak. #PendersReach #Oregon #GeneralStore #DeliveryTruck #Uncle #Autumn1998 #BrassBell #WrongFace #CannedGoods #BreathingShelves #SmallTown #Isolation #PriceOfConvenience #Forgetting #FexingoHorror #HorrorPodcast #TenFathoms #Luna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
